Projection: need to automatically qualify

Oral Roberts needs the Summit League tournament because its résumé is built more on a handful of bright spots than on sustained quality wins; the neutral victory over Kennesaw and the home win over Montana State plus a gritty result against Missouri–Kansas City are real positives but they are swamped by heavy road defeats at Oklahoma State and Oklahoma and other lopsided losses at places like Weber State and TCU, along with several setbacks away from home that undermine any at-large case. The committee cares about road and neutral success and quality wins against top opponents, and Oral Roberts simply does not have enough of those, so the remaining slate against South Dakota State, Nebraska Omaha, South Dakota, Denver and a trip to Missouri–Kansas City is its last realistic chance to remake the profile and turn a fragile season into an NCAA spot by taking the conference crown.
